Rails spinoffs - Aug 2007 - Which version of JavaScript does Prototype and/or script.aculo.us require

Does anyone know which version of JavaScript Prototype and/or
script.aculo.us requires?

I''m creating a mobile version of a Rails application (which uses these
libraries), and the script.aculo.us effects are not working when I
surf to the mobile version using the Blazer web browser on my Palm
Treo.  Blazer 4.5 supports JavaScript 1.5, so I''m wondering if
Prototype and/or script.aculo.us requires something in JavaScript 1.6
that is causing the effects to fail?

Thanks,
Denis

The version of javascript is almost irrelevant, any modern UA that
claims javascript support is almost certainly compliant with
ECMAScript Language Ed. 3, which is the standard underlying JavaScript
1.5.  There are some minor variances, but none that really matter in
most cases.

Of far more importance is compliance with W3C standards, such as HTML
4 and the various DOM 2 standards:

Very few browsers or devices claim support JavaScript 1.6, it would be
a very poor decision to require support for it in a web application
intended for general use.
